Healthier Christmas rocky road or tiffin

Mandy Mazliah

A delicious Christmas rocky road – or tiffin – recipe that’s full of festive flavour and ingredients. It’s not exactly healthy but it’s definitely healthier than your average slice of rocky road and I’ve made it with vegan ingredients as well so my whole family were very happy with this.

Ingredients

325gbiscuitscrushed (I used vegan cinnamon biscuits but digestives and rich tea biscuits work well if you're not vegan)

100gmixed nuts and seedschopped (I used almonds and pumpkin seeds)

50gmixed peel

75gdried cranberries

50graisins

1tspground cinnamon

1tbspchia seedsoptional

Instructions

Grease a 20 x 30cm dish and line with baking paper.

Melt 4 tbsp maple syrup, 175g dairy free butter and 100g dark chocolate together. You can either do this in a tightly fitting heatproof bowl over a pan of boiling water or in the microwave. If you opt for the microwave take it out and stir every 30 seconds and be very careful of the heat.
